Forward Deployed Engineer

What is Bilt? Bilt is the membership for where you live. What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants. Travel, dining, fitness, everyday spend. We are building systems across payments, credit, loyalty, and commerce all at once. We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens. This role comes with real ownership and high expectations. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and structure, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want to build quickly, have a real say in what gets built, and work on products used by millions, you will likely do your best work here. What’s the role? As a Forward-Deployed Engineer at Bilt, you are the technical face of our platform to our partners. You’ll work directly alongside partner engineering teams—at property management companies, loyalty programs, payment processors, and subscription platforms—to design, build, and ship integrations that power the Bilt ecosystem. This is a deeply hands-on, partner-facing engineering role: you’ll write production code, debug complex API issues in real time, and serve as the bridge between Bilt’s internal engineering organization and the outside world.
